Just a reminder to everyone that as we reported earlier, the general availability of Windows 7 Beta program is ending this week.



Starting from Feb 10th (12am Pacific Time), there wont be any new downloads of Windows 7 beta available, and from Feb 12th (9am Pacific Time), no downloads of Windows 7 beta will be available. If you are already downloading your beta, better complete the download before Feb 12th!

So, if you haven't yet started your download or yet registered for Windows 7 Beta, then this is the right time.

Download your beta here before it ends!

Well we have 7022 now so there's little point of downloading something you already know is outdated.

FYI, 7022 is not an officially released Beta build!

Yeah, 7022 was leaked, but it's an old build compared to what the MS-authroised Beta testers are currently using.
Doesn't matter anyways, RC is imminent.

Who really cares? Aren't they all the same 10 serials besides the ones that were gotten in the very beginning?

And people, i know not EVERYONE, is moving onto the new builds, 7022 at the moment. In a couple weeks it will be something else, then RC ETC. So 7000 to me is outdated.

No, initially they handed out unique keys (I got one too), but when the demand grew too big and their servers went down, they eventually released these 10 free-for-all keys which can easily be found all over the web.
